2023 Soft Feathers

Labels

>The theme for 2023 is various animals, illustrated by Zentangle art, made by Birgitta Lindqvist-Gatti and Gunnel Sandahl. The Zentangle method is a ralaxing way to create beautiful images by drawing structure patterns.

A parrot can be as beautiful as this wine, and as soft as its feathers.

Weather

In September there was a long period of good waether, suitable for harvest, but at that time the grapes was not ripe enough. There came a big rainfall in end of septembre, which didn't damage our grapes, but we could not wait too long further on, because the rot were approaching.

Typically at that time, the weather reports begun to forecast a lot of rain, but before that we were given a half week to completa the harvest.
